For positive block
sizes
, the real
matrix
(
a
J
b
J
b
J
a
J
)
is
a
positive semidefinite matrix
exactly when
a
≥
∣
b
∣
. For
test
-
vector
block
sums
s
,
t
, its
quadratic form
is
(
a
+
b
)
(
s
+
t
)
2
/2
+
(
a
−
b
)
(
s
−
t
)
2
/2
. This proves sufficiency; testing
s
=
±
t
proves
necessity
. Zero
sums
in both blocks describe part of its
kernel
.
